Our Review

The Landice L7 treadmill is an industry standard and has been a leading model for over a decade. It is a very well reviewed unit with a solid drive system and a good shock absorption system. They have brought to market a lot of add ons and features that make the units more tech friendly but they haven’t really kept the actual unit and programming up to date. In all honesty the displays themselves have not really changed in over a decade…just the framing and features around them have.

Landice uses an aluminum frame to help the unit absorb more of the runners force and to help resist rust overtime. The combination of frame and the VFX shock absorbing system is what they call the softer then grass system and for an additional charge you can add an orthopedic belt to make the deck even softer.

The unit utilizes a 4hp motor that is basically the same as their commercial drive motor. It is a very smooth and powerful motor that makes speed changes very smooth during programs. The elevation motor has 1000lb lift and has a very solid feel even for heavy users during incline changes.

There are four different display options for the Landice units and I suggest that you are truthful with yourself on what you really need because the differences are not huge but the price can grow quickly. Many users are actually better off with a simpler screen and adding a tablet mount or tv mount instead to the unit based on what they will use while working out.

In Summary

Landice is a standard in the residential treadmill world and is always worth consideration if you are a regular user in search of quality and American Made construction. But understand that they are priced accordingly and dealers are limited on what they can discount. If Landice is the brand you like just remember to be real with what console you actually need and add the entertainment features that keep you coming back.

Customer Reviews:

When my last treadmill became a repair hassle, I decided to go all out and buy a Landice L7 Cardio for nearly $4,000. I can’t say I recommend it.

The product has squeaked since day 1, the company that sold it to won’t do anything about it, saying “there’s no reimbursement from Landice after 1 year”. While it’s true I should have called them sooner, its also true it shouldn’t squeak for $4000. I could have bought a $700 cheapo if I wanted squeaks and repairs. Or kept my 15 year old commercial unit. So that’s the product.

As for Landice service – their support leaves a lot to be desired. The never sent the “free” T-shirt their paperwork promised. I called them to verify they received my warranty registration and they never returned the call, and still didn’t send the T-shirt. I recently had the company who sold the product contact them to confirm the registration info was received, and to see if they would send the T-shirt. I got a response saying they got the registration some time ago, and they would send the T-shirt but it would take 4-6 weeks because they send them out bulk mail. $4000 and they can’t afford $3 for an envelope and first class mail? That’s what I call penny wise and pound foolish…I couldn’t care less about the T-shirt but that’s just stupid marketing. If the shirt ever arrives, I’ll throw it away now…not gonna push their brand for them.

American quality my rear end…what a waste. Buy something else, take the savings and go on a vacation.

I have owned an L7 for a bit over a year. Quality of construction is top notch. A friend who services exercise equipment says he would be out of business if others were as well built.

Totally agree that the higher end electronic options are not worth it. I have the highest level exec model and the “scenes” are very 1980’s. This is one area where makers like NordicTrac are orders of magnitude ahead.

Will last a lifetime but not 100% certain if I would buy again. As noted, their hostility toward web based sales keeps prices artificially high.
